Will Ferrell: ‘I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me’

I would suggest that the sense of "self" that a man dressed as a woman in public is experiencing is not innate, but is a consequence of that individual's relationship to the power that explicitly advocates for that behaviour. I would further suggest that the hostility that is directed toward a man dressed as a woman in public today is not aroused by the feeling that that individual is a direct threat in himself, but that he is signalling his submission and allegiance to a power that is.
